NetSupport is a computer monitoring program that faculty can use to control the student interface experience in our computing lab facilities at Baruch College. The program allows for controlling the student-experience during instructor demonstrations and exams, quickly distributing a set of files to each student computer, interactive learning and more.

In particular, from the instructor station of a lab, faculty members can perform the following:

• Watch, share or control each student’s screen, keyboard and mouse• Block student use, either temporarily or permanently, of applications, functions, websites, webpages, etc.• Transfer and manipulate files between workstations using the “drag and drop” feature• View more than one student screen at a time as “thumbnails” on the instructor screen• Launch an application, video, PowerPoint, etc. on one, many or all student workstations• Display a selected student’s screen to other students• “Push out” the instructor screen to selected or all student screens• “Blank out” all student screens temporarily so that the student focus is exclusively on the instructor

Net Support is a powerful application, which is capable of performing many other functions than those listed above. This session will provide a basic introduction to and demonstration of the software.
